Factors affecting “Buying Perception” Sociocultural Psychosocial Personal Psychological
Consumption choices vary ac-cording to na-tionality, reli-gion, race, and national origin.
Reference groups (such as family, neigh-bours, friends, and colleagues) have a strong influence on pur-chases of high-tech products.
Lifestyle also de-termines con-
sumption choices
Psychological factors-buyer of such devices is also sensitive to other aspects of the product like its size, shape, weight, colour, and even the aes-thetic quality of its buttons
The interest in Wi-Fi only exists because our culture values im-ages and speed, and because we have owned laptops and used the Internet for a significant amount of time
Wi-Fi can be perceived as a status symbol that appeals to all consumers who buy products for social status reasons.
singles or young couples without chil-dren, as well as older couples need wifi and internet for spending their time .
Apple is well known for its unique ability to of -fer very attractive products with shiny colours, round and sensual design, and in-imitable artistic form, such as the iMac or the iPod .
BRAND STRATEGY
Typically, a powerful brand will go through various stages: ◗ From zero awareness; ◗ To assisted recognition, when it is mentioned in a list of brands submitted to respondents; Product Strategy ◗ To unaided recall, meaning that the respondent associates the brand name directly with a given product or communication message; ◗ To “top of mind,” when the brand is mentioned first without any assistance. However, strong brand recognition also means a significant amount of money in-vested up front to promote the brand. The human mind does not build up fa-vourable impressions slowly over time
Stages of Brand awareness
BRAND STRATEGY Respecting the three conditions of dominance, exclusivity, and singularity is achieved through a good segmentation process and the right choice of positioning.

BRAND STRATEGY
The idea of developing and maintaining a strong brand in the fullest sense—conceiving of a promise of value for customers and then ensuring that the promise is kept through the way the product is developed, produced, sold, serviced, and advertised—simply does not resonate as it should. What’s needed is a sea change in managerial attitudes from a product-centric to a prom-ise-centric business model. Successful brand management helps attract and keep customers. It can also be a strong foundation from which to launch new products, improve relationships with channel partners, foster good communication among employees within and across business functions, and help a company better focus its resources. Building trust is a worthy goal.
